POEMS. By Bret Harte. Boston: Jas. fl

Book House.
What is poetry? The question i's etert
asked; and yetarrioug all the thousand
one "answers, volunteered from every p
bio quarter, and couched io every cono
ble tone from thc oracular to the cornr
place, no definition has apparently beer
vented sufficiently concise and compre:
sive to satisfy the critical inquirer.
Carlyle may tell us, with mystic" emph;
that "poetry is the attempt which
"makes to renderhis existence harmonio
und the disciple of Leigh Hunt and H
Tooke may contemptuously . rejoin
"poetry is metrical language;" batwbei

ding anoffi?lcjb thirst, of .nbortlv? Atten
to solve this vexed question, but coutenl
ourselves with merely hinting at the um
tainty which invests lt, shall proceed
discuss briefly the individual claims wi:
Mr. Bret Harte puts forth in the eleg
.irttte rol?me, which Hes before us. '
boofc contains forty-six "poems," eight
which comprise the "poems, in dialect, " t
so^famous through the length aud brea
of th* land. Of these it is sufficient to
tbat, as thoroughly orginai and [>miliar [
dnbts of an exceptional phase of existen
they nave a force and truth, and rug'?
pathos about them, which*cun hardly fail
secare them immortality. The relation wb
thSy bear to the pioneer-civilization of
great Wost, is very much that which is bot
by the old Scotch and English ballads to i
rough, wild, baif-barbarous civilization
the BorderrCouutry which gave them Mr
i iLnr i ?? - - .it-? . -t-c
nearly as long a lease of life, When su
bits of quaint pathos as "Cicely/* "Jim" a
"Flynn of Virginia," are ouce dropped ic
the world, the heart or humanity is not ve
likely ever to forget or outgrow them. T
youDg lady in the populur novel, who "hat
"ali poetry except when it's jolly." and t
man of exquisite culture and refined taste,
whom , in Ute largest sense of the noble wore
.\2V0lt7 huni'aM allenum est," will alike ov
the potent Spell of that touch of nature iii
makes lite whole world kin.
The other,.. poems tn^ho'i,book have i
special rrrefii, and- serve- chiefly to displt
Mr. II irte's constitutional defects) which tl
bizarre shape- oftue verses, in"dialect m;
have concealed. "Her *Lettej,|'?? .?'The B

"dies" aUhe errd of the 6oo&-ilcttkhcy ni
palpable Irritations of the intmitabie Prae<
"Dickens in Camp" is perhaps the be
poem drawn forth by the great master
death; but most of the other verses are di;
figured by false quantities and defeeth
'rhyme, which deserve no pity from the erith
"Epicurean" is properly ucceuied ou tb
penultimate, and not on the third syllabi*
"material" does not rhyme with "tell," nc
"talk" with "New York," nor "heiress
with . "rarest," nor "jaw" with "Thor.
Whenever Mr. Harte step3 out of the tuc
nel, or the rauche or the raine, he become
slipshod and commonplace. We have sai
before that we think the verses in dialec
will live. It" will certainly be better for th
author's fame that the rest of the. voium
should speedily and eternally die.
NOTICE was given some time since in lb
Honse of a bill to postpone the municipa
election in Charleston until Nojember, 1S72
so as to bring the election on the same ilai
as that on which the State and Unite.
"States elections are held. Bosetnon, ot
Tuesduy, gave notice of a bill which amend
so much of the election of thc City o
Charleston ?s relates to the election o
Mayor ami Alderman, and appointing th?,
first Wcduesday of August, 1872, aa the day
for the next election. The present afayot
und Aldermen are to remain i:i office until
August, 1872.
THE Kingstree Star, in a vigorous articl?,
shows that it woukl be unwise in the ex?
treme to give the County Commissioners of
Williamsburg, as proposed, the authority to
borrow rponey to liquidate the indebtedness
of the county. The Star thinks it better to
levy at ouce a ta.. sufficient to pay the whole
debt. This woukl be hard to bear, but
there is nothing to gain by postpouing the
evil day.
ANOTHER effort has been made to get at
the truth about the co3t of fliting up the
Statehouse with elaborate spittoons, walnut
desks and gorgeous curtains. It failed, but

to cont Un all the elements necessary to keep np

which we ar . all more or less exposed. The ex?
